CAF has granted FUFA approval for a Test Match at Namboole Stadium as the Final Phase of reopening, marking an exciting development for Ugandans.

The stadium has been out of commission since 2020 due to substandard conditions, but extensive renovations by the UPDF Engineering Brigade, funded by a Sh97bn government allocation since 2022, have revitalized it.

The Federation has designated two UPL fixtures for this significant milestone: KCCA Vs SC Villa and BUL Vs SC Villa on Wednesday, May 1.

These test matches will provide CAF with insight into the progress of the ongoing renovation works, crucial for potential permission to host International games.

The news has ignited anticipation amongst football fans who for long have wanted the National stadium reopened.

For the Wednesday matches, fans will part with Shs 10,000 for ordinary tickets and Shs 50,000 for VIP.
